Galactic War Guide - [Team Instinct]

You nailed it. I have been running that except with Daka and Kylo Ren. Might want to add, need to save at least one person hopefully 2 that can heal starting with round one. Helps with those high powered teams. I also try to have my big attacks CD ready for the next "new battle"*edited. It helps to take out one character very quickly.

Cool. I'm doing it with Barris (Lead), Lumi, JC, Sid and Asajj. Usually they're enough. Sometimes I switch in Phasma (Lead) and/or Vader for Asajj.

Most of the times I deal with the RNG, I don't usually retreat, even if I miss all my specials, and I get all the debuffs on me, unless I reach a point of no return (someone dies or is certainly about to die, and no way to avoid this).

I've had to send in suicide members from time to time, even a full suicide B/C squad once. And sometimes I just have fun on the last battles when all is about to end and send in my entire roster, from team B to X,Y,Z, no team, just a bunch of low levels, no geared, no nothing, before sending finally my A team. :)

Step #1 Have super easy GW opponents.

Qft
I just use my arena squad and autopilot through it. The biggest difference is the matchmaking system, no matter what

That was hilarious, well written and very true. :D

Well done.

Thanks for the guide!

Just have some questions to ask:

1. Bariss seems to be a staple in your guide, but most f2p players won't have her until a later level although she is farmable now. Any good replacement for her?

She seems crucial especially against heal immunity like kylo and Sid combo.

2. Any advice how to deal with Phasma counter teams in GW? Example of more commonly seen: Phasma Sid Lumi fives kylo or Dooku. More deadly combo: Phasma Leia qgj kylo fives

Thanks so much.

re #1--you are right--Barriss is a great addition to the GW team. Even though she lacks damage (see the noodle section of the guide), her heals are good and she is pretty tanky. With the addition to Barriss in the Cantina missions, any player can farm her shards and unlock her. As you can see in the guide, even a 4-star Barriss is enough to help coast through GW.

If you don't have Barriss, Luminara's leadership skill isn't too bad. It doesn't give the health bonus of Bariss, but it does give a little heal each turn (more to Jedi) and evasion. The game is a little thin on healers right now, so while there is no equivalent replacement for Barriss, you might also try Daka. Her heal is not as strong, and it is on a long cooldown, but her stun can provide some additional damage mitigation by eliminating enemy turns.

re #2--Phasma teams can be very tough right now. I'll address how I would handle each of the comps you outlined:

Phasma, Sid, Lumi, Fives, Kylo: This one isn't too bad. Take out Sid first, then depending on if kylo has counter you might swap onto him or Lumi. The goal would be to finish Lumi before she has her 2nd ability block. I would leave fives till last, but start putting big hits on him while you are working on phasma. It's better not to leave him at full health to be the last target alive because that forces you to hit him with your weak characters and gives him more counters.

Phasma, Leia, QGJ, Kylo, Fives: This one is definitely tougher. Priority to kill would be QGJ and then Leia. Leia will stealth so you'll have to go QGJ 1st. Fives and Kylo really aren't much of a threat, so again take Kylo when appropriate without his counter. QGJ is a little squishy so you could even consider trying to get Phasma down before he gives Leia advantage. As soon as Leia pops out of course you take her down asap. This match is tough and become much easier or toughe depending on RNG with Leia crits and multi-attacks.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the guide. Your voice sounds kind of strange though, lol.

Hmmm....So to summarize.....Use 7* Barriss, with 4 other random 7* heroes, since she can heal through heal immunity........

People having trouble with GW don't have a 7* Barriss. If this was helpful to you, you are a fucking retard.

The Barriss used in the video is a 4-star Barriss.

Thanks for your note.

I was trying to talk quietly so I wouldn't wake a sleeping baby--hopefully it wasn't too hard to understand.

You forgot to add to also have your strongest opponents max lvl 5 less than yours. The OP is lvl 70 and maxed, the toughest matches were lvl 65.

This was a very good guide in general, thanks for taking the time for posting it. I run three healers, but I may switch out Daka for Barriss since her heal can work around heal immunity, at least in part.

The problem is, I was a little disappointed in that your toughest opponents were a full 5 levels lower than you, and maybe/maybe not skilled/geared to the max like your squad. As such, the guide has limited usefulness. The tactics are sound, they make a lot of sense, but people who could use the most help are those that are facing multiple opponents 3 lvls, 5 lvls, or even 7 lvls higher than them. Anyone should be able to finish GW with 2-3 healers and anyone else in the other spots provided they're leveled up, if their opponents are much weaker than them 100% of the time.
